The Long Walk This walk followed a route from Keld in the Yorkshire Pennines to Tongue on the North coast of Scotland's Pentland Firth. We took great care to ensure that every yard was diligently covered. It was not walked continuously but comprised several walking holidays and sometimes we used our cars or public transport to get to and from our starting and ending positions. It was completed a few years ago, but I now hope to combine all the sections and so chart our progress on a 'Very Long Walk'

Transferring our photographs and notes to this web is going to be a time consuming process, so anyone who stumbles upon these pages will need to have patience before journeys end at the Pentland Firth is finally in place on the Website. There will be revisions and amendments ongoing,..... but come with us on our journey. Dave Stamp. November 2001 |
